The kitchen is the most important room in the house.
POSSIBILITIES
Lack of space should not limit
the big possibilities offered by
a great kitchen. There are
many clever ways to find
somewhere to put everything
you need and have lots of
storage even if space is
limited.
In a small kitchen design,
good storage means making
the most of that tucked away
space by using overhead
space for cupboards, buying
appliances which are small and
compact and using smart
colours to give a feeling of
openness.
Simple benchtops work
best. And any designs which
hide everything in cupboards
and store things out of sight
will make a small kitchen look
much more spacious.
Use all the space in the
pantry. There are a variety of
options for internal cupboard
storage, including drawers and
shelves that slide out.
KITCHENS
A well-designed kitchen ma-
kes life so much easier and
raises the value of your
home.
If you're looking at re-
modelling, renovating or
simply putting in a whole
new kitchen, it pays to do
some research.
Get the family in-
volved: Ask every member
what they would like in the
kitchen, what their frus-
trations are with the space
and changes they would like
to see.
Money matters: Work-
ing out a budget should be
one of the first things you
do. Do you have the skills to
DIY or do you need pro-
fessional help? Do you want
to tackle the whole project
at once or work in stages?
Are you ready to recycle
some existing materials and
re-use or is this a complete
knock-down and rebuild
project?
Determine design:
Once you know how every-
one feels, work out what
will best suit the space you
have allocated. Kitchens are
as individual as people.
There is a design out there
to suit your needs and
budget, from single wall
designs to U-shapes and
L-shapes.
